[dapper] Cursor in Firefox?

[P Jones]

Ha! In fact it wasn't accidental, I turned it on in Preferences when
setting up Firefox. I just didn't know it would result in a Giant
Cursor. The selection is in the Advanced>General tab under
Accessiblity; "Allow text to be selected with keyboard". At the time
it seemed like a feature I might like to use. Little did I know... ;-)

Thanks to all for the replies.
